The SOX compliance works were done by the SOX compliance manager with the help from various department managers and their staffs prior to 2009. Due to the limitation in resources, some of the SOX documents were out of date. I joined the SOX compliance team in 2009 to help the documentation of SOX related processes and controls. This year’s major project is to perform a walkthrough of all the business cycles which is planned from February to early July. The purpose is to ensure the SOX documentations are up to date, as well as identify potential areas of improvement. This project is being performed by me and the SOX Compliance Manager, as well as helps from managers in various business units.
Why is it an important project? Although the documentation and the assessment of internal control over financial reporting are required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, internal controls have been exist many years before the enact of the act. The act is served as a wake-up call to the management for the importance of having effective internal control environment. Radiant Systems, inc. implemented the SOX documentations in 2004. At the time of implementation, the PCAOB had not yet published the AS 5, which emphasized a top-down approach for assessing the internal control framework. The SOX documentation and the internal controls framework of our company were based on AS 2, which required more extensive assessment and documentation. Unlike other companies which…...

...distribution. The timeframe for this strategy is the end of the week to the vice president. With such a short time to complete this complex tasking would require a formal communication channel, in which to explain the direction to the team with the requirement and with the tasking deadline. Therefore, the final presentation is due Thursday, for the meeting with the vice president on Friday. The presentation to the vice president will occur on Friday will dictate a formal communication channel.
Scenario number two, is a role of a travel agency manager, in which first thing in the morning, the username and password to company application system does not allow anyone to access the application. This immediately caused a work stoppage, to where none of the travel agents could perform assigned responsibilities, affecting existing, and new customers. An informal communication channel, of a telephone call to the IT Department, determined the cause to the username and password problem. Because there was no formal communication put in place by the travel agency, this dictates an informal communication channel. The IT Department determined the username and password expired, in which the technician supplied a new username and password for the travel agents to use. After receiving the new username and password, the travel agents received the login credentials, making them productive of assisting the customers. The lack of communication of not knowing of the username and......

...instructions with enough detail so that an outsider who does not have a copy of the lab instructions knows what you did. However, this does not mean writing every little step like “dip the pH test strip in the water, then shake the test strips,” these steps can be simplified to read “we used pH test strips to measure water pH”, etc. Additionally, this section should be written in the past tense and in your own words and not copied and pasted from the lab manual.
Results
The results section should include all tables used in your experiments. All values within the tables or graphs should be in numerical form and contain units. For instance, if measuring the amount of chloride in water you should report as 2 mg/L or 0 mg/L, not as two or none.
The results section should also highlight the important results in paragraph form, referring to the appropriate tables when mentioned. This section should only state the results as no personal opinions should be included. A description of what the results really mean should be saved for the discussion. For example, you may report, 0mg/L of chlorine were found in the water, but should avoid personal opinions and interpretations of the data (e.g., “No chlorine was found in the water showing it is cleaner than the others samples”).
Discussion
The discussion section should interpret your data and provide conclusions. Start by discussing if each hypothesis was confirmed or denied and how you know this.

...the criteria for acknowledging a placebo effect taken
for this present paper are as follows: (1) A placebo had to
be given. (2) The event had to be an effect of the placebo
treatment, i.e., the event would not have happened without
placebo administration. (3) The event had to be relevant
for the disease or symptom, i.e., it had to be a therapeutic
event.
Besides these three criteria there were no other prede-

ﬁned criteria for the analysis. Basic medical knowledge and
common sense were the only scientiﬁc tools.
RESULT
For 14 out of the 15 trial publications [2–16] detailed analysis was possible. (One publication [4] did not give account
of the study design.) The overall result was that for none
of these trials was there any reason to assume the existence
of the slightest placebo effect. These studies were placebocontrolled drug trials. Although they were not carried out in
order to investigate placebo effects, Beecher retrospectively
attributed the improvements in the placebo groups to effects
of the placebo administration. However, on the basis of the
published data, in all of these trials the reported outcome
in the placebo groups can be fully, plausibly, and easily explained without presuming any therapeutic placebo effect.
The published data of these trials make it quite obvious that
there were a variety of reasons for the reported results, such
as spontaneous improvements, additional treatments, methodological......

...distant galaxies had the features in their spectral lines shifted to lower frequencies in a linear manner: that is, more distant galaxies exhibit greater redshifts. The only known mechanism for generating a spectral shift is the Doppler effect, which means that distant galaxies are receding from us.
Another dominant idea connects the dots between the big bang theory and the universe we find today called inflation. The notion that during the first roughly 10 to the minus 34 s the universe underwent exponential expansion, doubling in size at least 90 times. The big bang theory leaves several major questions unanswered. One is the original cause of the big bang itself. Several answers have been proposed to address this fundamental question, but none has been proven—and even adequately testing them has proven to be a challenge.
The big bang theory has various problems or weaknesses. The first weakness is that of the horizon. The horizon problem correlates with the cosmic microwave background issue. The microwave “background” makes more sense as the limiting temperature of space heated by starlight than as the remnant of a fireball.
The expression “the temperature of space” is the title of chapter 13 of Sir Arthur Eddington’s famous 1926 work. He calculated the minimum temperature which any body in space would cool to, given that it is immersed in the radiation of distant starlight. With no adjustable parameters, he obtained 3°K (later refined to 2.8°K [[5]]), essentially......

...with a reality that isn’t changeable. This world; which is contingent; is imperfect in an aesthetic moral way. This goes after reality, because it’s awesome and unique. This phase refers back to Plato, where’s the concept, that the world is “real” and more “factual”; plus, the fantasy world we live in, as of our embodied frame of mind. Our universe has many correct forms. With relations to this, it’s hard to explain correctly; so how they’re not both in common, be kin in any other way. How can you tell from the “really real”, and the “want to be real”? You can examine the perception, which will show the lines of metaphysics realness, and not the outcome of regular skills. With skills, we find objects and forces, that are perceptional, and none perceptional; that we can keep intake. We find a universe that’s always changing. Idols are conceived, breathed, and ended. The solar system is after an agenda course as everything in it. In life, we’re models of constellations, and goes after our fate. You know everything is different because it’s in a current. Within our sense skills, this is the knowledge of oue universe.
B. Is The Physical World Real, More or Less Than The Spiritual or Psychological
The physical universe is more realer than either, because the physical is concerned on seeing and observing things. With the spirit you doesn’t see it, it’s what embeds the soul, and believing by faith. The psychological is within your mentality, because it causes you to imagine......

...Carl robins works as a recruiter at a new campus for ABC, Inc. However, even though his only worked there for six months his faces serious problems and has found himself in quite a predicament. After hiring fifteen new trainees for his operational supervisor, and scheduling an orientation for new hires to take place in mid-June. After assuring his supervisor Monica Carrolls that the work she ask would be done by the time she wanted, he stated noticing everything was going wrong and time was running out. Soon he realized that the paper work his supervisor asked for was not completed and files were missing.
The missing files consisted of several missing applications that weren’t completed on the new trainee’s transcripts. Also he found out none of them had been sent to the clinic for a mandatory drug screen. At this point his frustration was through the roof but, the bad news did not end there only continued. Soon he found out, after reviewing the scheduling log for the training room he notice that there was yet another problem. The training room where he is to hold the orientation for the new trainees is booked up and reserved for the entire month.
Alternatives
Fighting procrastination is an increasing problem in today’s work forces. As Carl’s timeline was a big part of his problem, he putting work aside was a wrong step. In April he scheduled a new hire orientation to take place in June 15. On May 15 a month after he was contacted by his supervisor about the paper......
